kicking Bear. A Sioux medicine-man 

 of Cheyenne River agency, S. Dak., who 

 acquired considerable notoriety as leader 

 of a hostile band and priest of the Ghost- 

 dance craze among the Sioux in 1890. 

 He organized and led the first dance at 

 Sitting Bull's camp on Standing Rock res., 

 and was prominent in the later hostilities, 

 for which he was afterward held for some 

 time as a militarv prisoner. See Mooney 

 in 14th Rep. B. A. E., 1896. 



Kicking Bird (Tene-angpote). A Kiowa 

 chief. He was the grandson of a Crow 

 captive who was adopted into the trilie, 

 and early distinguished himself by his 

 mental gifts. In ti-ibal traditions and 

 ceremonial rites he was a thorough adept, 

 and as a warrior he won a name, but 

 had the sagacity to see the hopelessness 

 of the struggle with the whites and used 

 all his influence to induce the tribe to 

 submit to inevitable conditions. He 

 signed the first agreement to accept a res- 

 ervation on Aug. 15, 1865, at Wichita, and 

 the treaty concluded at Medicine Lodge 

 on Oct. 21, 1867, definitively fixing the 

 Kiowa-Comanche- Apache res. in the pres- 

 ent Oklahoma. In the resistance to re- 

 moval to the reservation in 1868 and in the 

 subsequent raids into Texas he took no 

 part. When the Federal authorities in 

 1873 failed to carry out their agreement 

 to release the Kiowa chiefs imprisoned in 

 Texas, he lost faith in the Government 

 and was tempted to join the expeditions 

 against the Tonkawa trilie and the white 

 buffalo-hunters of Texas in 1874; butwhen 

 Lone Wolf decided to join thehostiles who 

 were defying United States troops. Kick- 

 ing Bird induced two-thirds of the tribe 

 to return with him to the agency at Ft 

 Sill, and was treated thenceforth as the 



head chief of the Kiowa, Lone Wolf's 

 offer to surrender and join the friendlies 

 being refused. He invited and assisted 

 in the establishment of the first school 

 among the Kiowa in 1873. At one time 

 when his constant advocacy of peace 

 brought him into disrepute and the 

 charges that he was a woman and a 

 coward caused his comisels to be treated 

 with contempt, he gathered a band for 

 a Texas raid and fought a detachment 

 of troops victoriously, regaining his old 

 repute for courage and success in war. 

 He died suddenly, l)y poison if the susjii- 

 cions of his friends were just, on May 5, 

 1875, and at the request of his family Vas 

 buried with Christian rites. — Moonev in 

 17th Rep., B. A. E., ii, 190, 216, 252, 1898.
